Justice for Hind

BREAKING. Israel has just confirmed that its forces opened fire on Hind Rajab, the 5 years old girl who called for help, trapped in a car alongside her dead relatives. Netanyahu must face justice for Hind and all 20,000 children killed on his watch. Join 1 million other voices calling for his arrest: ARREST NETANYAHU - SIGN NOW Our original campaign after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu: After 14 months of slaughter in Gaza, the International Criminal Court has finally issued an official arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Netanyahu. But it means nothing if governments around the world don’t enforce it. And there’s no time to waste - thousands of children have already been killed by Israel in Gaza. It is official: the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sign the petition demanding world leaders comply with the warrant, and arrest Netanyahu if he enters their country. For over a year, most Western governments have either supported Israel’s massacres or, at best, done next to nothing to stop it. With today’s announcement from the ICC, that must change. And it already is: the Netherlands, France, Spain, Belgium and Ireland have made clear that they would enforce this arrest warrant. For every child maimed and murdered by Israeli missiles and snipers, for every school and aid truck bombed, for every family searching for lost ones under the rubble - add your name to the petition demanding world leaders comply with the ICC’s arrest warrant against Netanyahu:

But it means nothing if governments around the world don’t enforce it. And there’s no time to waste - thousands of children have already been killed by Israel in Gaza. ARREST NETANYAHU - SIGN NOW Dear friends, It is official: the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sign the petition demanding world leaders comply with the warrant, and arrest Netanyahu if he enters their country. For over a year, most Western governments have either supported Israel’s massacres or, at best, done next to nothing to stop it. With today’s announcement from the ICC, that must change.

For every child maimed and murdered by Israeli missiles and snipers, for every school and aid truck bombed, for every family searching for lost ones under the rubble - add your name to the petition demanding world leaders comply with the ICC’s arrest warrant against Netanyahu: ARREST NETANYAHU - SIGN NOW The accusations against Netanyahu include deliberate attacks on civilians, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war, as well as murder. But the International Criminal Court has no police force of its own - so it is up to member states to enforce its warrants. That is why this is so urgent: if governments do not make clear - now - that they will arrest Netanyahu if he enters their territory, then there won’t be any international justice. Arresting Netanyahu is a long shot - but massive public pressure can further isolate him, so that’s what we’ll do. So let's make this massive and run giant ads in key capitals, calling for international justice to be upheld. Add your name now, and demand world leaders make clear that the game is up for Netanyahu. ARREST NETANYAHU - SIGN NOW This arrest warrant - from a global court set up to prosecute atrocity crimes - is the latest evidence that everything that has happened in Gaza is causing immense human suffering. Netanyahu is betting that international justice will be applied selectively - it’s on governments everywhere to show that international law means something.

Trump vs Greenland

This image is from Trump’s own social media. And it’s no joke: the first batch of drilling gear was just delivered on the ground to extract vast quantities of oil. But Greenland never gave them permission, and locals now face pressure to cave in to Trump’s oil greed. Stand with Greenlanders now: sign this global call and say No to Trump drilling in Greenland. The Greenland peninsula of Nunap Qeqqa has been a natural gem for millions of years; a stunning tundra landscape with a rich wildlife of Arctic foxes and wild muskoxen. As an internationally protected area, drilling was banned in 2021. Yet a Trump-linked company is about to use an old licence to drill for oil – and they just offloaded equipment without official permission.  They aim to extract up to 1 trillion dollars worth of oil from this pristine land! Greenlanders can hardly fight this on their own. Let’s send a huge wave of global support to help Prime Minister Nielsen make the right call: protect Greenland and refuse to be bullied into oil drilling by a superpower. Sign and share now, and we will amplify our voices in the international media:

Sign and share now, and we will amplify our voices in the international media: Sign now – Greenland’s prime minister: Say NO to Trump’s oil greed! Earlier this year, when Trump threatened to invade Greenland, we gathered nearly a million signatures in solidarity with Greenlanders – adding to the international pressure that eventually made him back down. But now he’s back at it, and we need to fight back again. Nunap Qeqqa is a living sanctuary for wildlife – with one of the densest populations of muskoxen and geese. It is protected by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, where drilling was banned in 2021 because of the enormous damage it would cause. Inuit organisations across Canada and Alaska have reminded the global community that Arctic sovereignty belongs strictly to the people. But the US company is bulldozing ahead anyway. Join this crucial moment for international solidarity. If enough of us sign, Avaaz will make sure Greenland’s prime minister hears our voices directly. Sign and share with friends and family – let’s back up Greenland against Trump! Sign now – Greenland’s prime minister: Say NO to Trump’s oil greed! Movements like ours are key to showing decision-makers that a new future is possible. A future where we protect nature and livelihoods from unhinged superpowers and billionaires, where we stand up to the powerful while uniting the rest of us.

Israel wants this ancient site

Netanyahu is trying to steal Solomon's Pools - ancient 2,000-year-old reservoirs in the West Bank. Children have already been teargassed while swimming in the water and Palestinian families blocked by the military. Locals are calling on the UN's world heritage organisation to immediately act. Let’s stand with them: call on UNESCO for emergency World Heritage Site Status - before it’s too late. Solomon’s pools are an archaeological masterpiece. They are also one of the only places in Bethlehem where Palestinians can swim, bask in the shade and enjoy green space in peace. But Netanyahu has other ideas. With the help of Israeli settlers and far right minister Bezalel Smotrich, he is going after Solomon’s pools, trying to make them a symbol of his expansionist ideology, right before the elections in Israel in October. And it's already happening. New settler outposts have sprung up in the surrounding area, military incursions are now taking place on a weekly basis, they've even fired teargas while children swim in the pools. But Palestinians in the West Bank are fighting to keep their land and heritage. They are calling on UNESCO to grant the site emergency World Heritage Site status. It’s already been added to a tentative protection list, but granting official status would open up broader international cooperation in conservation and protection. UNESCO has protected historical sites in Palestine before - they can do it again! Terezinha, will you join local Palestinians before the pools are seized?

Sign now - UNESCO: PROTECT SOLOMON’S POOLS As recently as last month, under emergency procedures, UNESCO inscribed the ancient archaeological site of Sebastia in the occupied West Bank onto both the World Heritage List and the List of World Heritage in Danger to protect it from Israeli settlers. What’s happening at Solomon’s pools and at Sebastia isn’t an isolated event. It’s part of a strategy of expansion under the guise of preservation and development of heritage sites. Palestinians need our help - and we know from experience that getting a petition to 1 million signatures makes people listen. So let’s make this petition to UNESCO HUGE! Terezinha, will you help by signing and sharing it today? Avaaz will work with the local community to take our global call everywhere: Sign now - UNESCO: PROTECT SOLOMON’S POOLS Earlier this year, together we helped convince FIFA to intervene and stop Israel from demolishing a children's football pitch in Aida refugee camp – just a few kilometres from where Solomon’s pools are located. More than one million of us signed that petition. We know people-power can work. Let's do it again for the Palestinian children who simply want to swim in Solomon's Pools.
